Getting There, Part 2 - (aka, Okay, I'm in Vancouver...Now What?)

So once you get to Vancouver your journey to our wedding is not not entirely over. However, it is about to get more beautiful...

Rockwater Secret Cove Resort is located on Canada's Sunshine Coast which you get to via ferry. BC Ferries operates the ferry line you want between the Horseshoe Bay terminal in Vancouver, and the Langdale terminal on the coast.

From Vancouver International you have a few options. If you rented a car you can simply drive to Horseshoe Bay terminal (about 20-30 minutes from the airport), take the car onto the ferry, enjoy the ride, disembark, and drive the rest of the way to the resort.

However, if you don't want to rent a car, Malaspina Coach Lines operates a charter bus with service directly between the airport and the Sunshine Coast (they will take you directly to Secret Cove). The cost of the ferry is included in the price of the bus ticket so it makes things much simpler and is a great alternative to renting a car.

Once the ferry arrives at Langdale terminal I have to warn you that Rockwater Resort is still about another hour away. That said, it is a wonderfully scenic drive along the coast, and is well worth the travel time!

Getting There - Airports

As almost everyone will likely fly to the wedding we wanted to give you some airport information. Vancouver International (YVR) is the most convenient airport to fly in and out of on your way to Canada's Sunshine Coast.

However, if you don't mind traveling a bit more you may be able to find cheaper flights into Seattle via SEA-TAC, (SEA) which is about 150 miles from Vancouver.

If you choose to fly into Seattle there are a number of options to get you to Vancouver. The most convenient option is to rent a car and drive into Canada. However, Quick Coach offers a shuttle service between Sea-Tac and YVR, and Amtrak's Cascade Corridor provides a lovely and scenic trainride over the border.

Unfortunately there are currently no ferries operating between Seattle and Vancouver, BC.

Passport Information

The one thing about having the wedding in Canada is that you will need a passport to travel to Canada. Information on applying for a US passport can be found here.

As of this posting it will take about 3 weeks to process your passport application.
